3.5 out of 5 Coming-of-Age Stars Sadly, I didn’t get out of this what I wanted. It wasn’t a bad book, by any means, and it is a necessary book – meaning one written by a Latinx author, given a good publishing push and featuring a Latinx main character and her family. We need diverse, own … More Review: The Education of Margot Sanchez by Lilliam Rivera

4.5 out of 5 Conjured Stars This is the 3rd book in the Shades of Magic series. Look for it under my “All the Reviews” page for the other books. Praise little baby Jesus!

He’s an immortal, over 500 years old, from Ethiopia, but he began his life as a mortal man. After meeting a scholar and prophet named Khaldun, he underwent the … More Review: My Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due

4 out of 5 Bound Stars I’m not really sure this is a full on 4 star, might be more like 3.75. This was my first read of this book – whereas I didn’t enjoy the 2nd read of the first one – am I making sense here? I re-read the first book, The Archived, … More Review: The Unbound by Victoria Schwab

4 out of 5 Godly Stars This is the 3rd book in the Inheritance Trilogy – remember that on my “Reviews” Page, the series are grouped under the name of the series – so if you want to see my review of the first two, just look under Inheritance to find it. Beginnings. They are not … More Review: The Kingdom of Gods by N.K. Jemisin
